peeps4u:
Bros, I tell u before I just dey read comments underG these days.


Bros, we go like hear your overall reviews about your car regarding being used for ehailing.

I'm happy at your progress.

How Madam and family?

They re doimg great we bless God and thanks for your good wishes God bless you.

I've only done a 0.5L top up after covering 2k-miles within appx 3weeks.

Only those police at ketu/ojota interchange have stopped me once for a check.

Most riders don't seems to believe it until I arrive
Most times I've gotten request cancelled immediately after it comes in, some says they tried to check if they ordered for a on executive ride

Most bolt riders are sadist they don't like good thing at all... Na korope fit most of them... The good once are real uber riders but uber policies left them with no choice for Bolt

davit:
Guys see me see wahala o. My first trip of the day on 1.9 surge. Rider going to Victory Park. She dey the saloon across me. Begging that I should please wait.i dont know why riders won't make requests when they re ready.

Na the 1.9 dey encourage me o.

When a Nigeria woman tells you 5min just go home, bath, cook beans, eat, sleep and wake up b4 she'll be ready

So how the trip take end hope the wait was worth it? I hope she didn't cancel and request again

tunlapapa:
Uber?
I am fully ready to dump them to alternate usage.
I am just waiting for painter that has taken my vehicle for 2 weeks now but has not returned my vehicle.

And do you have uberXshare on your app, please let me see your app and compare to mine. It seems to have been forced on drivers without an option to turn it off.

I'm open to all 3 options no option to turn off any.

Im just using them to while this week away...

pope191:
Nah full sub you go do... people gathered and ask what happened, I ask her to explain, then I explain my side too, they fault her and ask her to pay. She start crying that I beat her, everybody vex like is she mad, calling her names, even aged women were using words on her. Las las she refuse to pay 2500, that she can only pay 2k. I took the 2k from her and just let everything slide.

When I had similar issue like this sometimes last yr after we settle the matter na 1 create of drink with 2 packets of cigerret I take settle ground... Somewhere around shomolu... I still have about 4 contacts there.

peeps4u:
How do you get to save these hoodlums' names with their areas?

Ajah Broken bottle?
Ketu Kura?
Oshodi thunder?
Agege Dagboru?

No ooh... With either their nick name or a name they re known for then I attach the area to it. E.g, sparkle mushin, chopay agege, aloma... Just like that... Most times na me dey hide especially when money plenty for my hand but if problem burst like this i call them omo they come to my rescue oh...

peeps4u:
2 year used matrix for 800k max because it is manual?

Ha! Boss longest... I don ask of u sotey I tire na

You just forget ur boy no be so oh baba

tunlapapa:
Felix! Felix! Felix!
Small small before you enter the land of no return.

You don forget why last born dey always find trouble?

Imagine you have 11 senior behind your back bros you go fight buh. ari join self.


By the way, how far bros, have you observed any change on the Uber app lately?

I notice a price flash and address review yesterday morning

Pope191 come finish your story now!

But menh!!! That was a difficult situation there bro... If I was the one I wouldn't have wasted time at all I for don create a scene before she start doing any wahala. The girl is a cheat and I'm sure it's not her first time doing that.

This is why I always make friends with both good guys and the very bad once everywhere I go.

Like in mushin now, I've two joints in mushin with at least 2 or 3 people's contacts each time I'm gallant and around I go there buy a carton of action bitter and Chelsea with SK...

Ketu i get guys there, Ajah/lekki I&II I get joint and contacts

Suru/Aguda, Iyana ipaja that one na steady... Those hoodlums know me very well...

Police contact dey, DAIG, Area commandant (area F), Commissioner, LASMA, TASKFORCE, VIO chairman's wife, Lagos State I have her contact...

Though I try to be very civil and law abiding in my dealings because that's what the Commissioner asked me and warn me never to ring his private line if I did anything wrong but if I'm not just a phone call or his presence is enough... He has done it once for me before so I know.

Every trouble has it's own solution weather na hoodlums or lawyer we ready.

Also, my last name has helped me many times without even making any phone call just my ID alone settles it but most times money dey go down.

So every business person must have a competitive advantage to stay afloat o.

To survive in this country you need to know people

But las las na God win am shall.


I ran into a trouble with a DAIG on Thursday at Intercontinental Hotel, ikoyi that the man slapped me 3 times... I wanted to retaliate b4 oh but his grey hair was his saving grace... The man was in a black suit... I insulted him tire... He asked his boys to take me to barbeach police station... We got there I didn't spend up to 5min and i was released... las las na contact end am.

Barbiturate:
That's my rating below.

I said I checked on my rider's App and it's 4.8 not 4.9. Meanwhile, I have 4.88 on my driver's App.

Well, I don't know about the rating dropping soon. I didn't work today though, cos I took my mom to the hospital and was with her till 4pm. I decided not to work again today when I saw plenty traffic.

Hope grandma is doing fine now. How old is she

Asking for a friend o

YeyeGbami:
Who say no government! Na people wey don go chop beans before sabi that slang.

One weekend evening, i got held up in ikorodu traffic. I managed to get past the round about facing mile12. I find one spot shock yansh dey find trip to ikeja make i close for that day.

After i don cancel tire, all requests wey come na people wey dey go inside ikorodu. I decide say make i dey blow empty since night don fall. I enter road see traffic for my lane, i see some people dey follow bus lane naso i do james bond follow them

We never reach the next exit to merge back, traffic still dey bus lane. I sha dey behind the buses some people don pull out again go overtake oncoming buses. Knowing how notorious those ikorodu brt monitoring team can be my mind no rest naso i steer commot to see front omo na rrs truck i see. They con on the flood lights na him i see say they don damage side mirrors, arrest cars.

Na reverse straight, i couldn’t keep up with reverse as i wan turn i use back hit barrier. i sha go back go do the right thing. All my shikini earning for that day for just go.

Normally, i no dey pass bus lane but that day i just say make i do wise guy.

You get luck I swear.

Barbiturate:
I feel it's same on both App.

To get a good rating, just be nice to rider. You don't have to carry load

My good rating is not cos I carry load. I'm always nice and I drive well. I no dey speed.

So na you dey do 40km/hr on 3md on the fastest lane the other day right in my front abi?

Next time I will make sure I hit your car enter the lagoon.

How can you be driving slowly on the highway and you're obstructing traffic on the fastest lane... O wrong na

mejai:
A thin line.... Abi?

Thin line bawo... Thick fat line... We distance like Atlantic Ocean

komodapson:
Baba...a lot of false narrative plenty for here ó. Some just want to drive home their wrong notion just for Argumentative purposes...it sucks walai...

So, how do you feel when you found out now?

Its true bro not a thing to argue about... Or can you explain why bolt blocked my account even when I have 4.53 on my dashboard but was told my rating is below 4.4?

What you should be mote concern about is, why do they design the app to work that way.

Well, me I'm making plans to have another driver's license because me I don't know how to beg somebody when I'm not breaking the rules.

The Nigeria system has given room for people to device means to survive so let's do it, no wahala...

Inbtw, all the riders that live in bad locations with bad roads seems to have migrate to Uber since they don't preview destination.

But yesterday, I notice something on Uber on my last 2 requests. One came with price review while the other came with an address but due to the short time frame (15secs) to accept the request I couldn't figure out what exactly it was. That of yge price showed just like a second when the request came in but that of the address stayed longer.

Drivers on Uber, what did you observe yesterday morning on your app?

Barbiturate:
Just to point out something. Someone here said the rating on the driver's App is different from the rider's App. I have 4.88 rating now and I just ordered myself to check it. I saw 4.8 still. I was hoping to see 4.9 or 4.7

Yeah you probably ordered yourself when your rating was recently updated on the app. Try it again after completing like 10- 15 trips with your present rating

komodapson:
I dey pity dem baba, honestly...I dey feel their pains walai...jokes apart. Seeing dem running helter skelter makes me to be grateful to God, òloun. Àje gbó baba... Life is just about privileges, to be honest with you...


@Oga Felicity... Please, how much is it to Fix faulty trunk of a Corolla and to get it solved once-and-for-all? Abeg......

This is embarrassing...àje

To ve honest I never had that problem all through the time I rented and used a Corolla maybe because (1) all the cars where tok (2) I always close my boot myself when ever I open it.

But if you want a lastimg solution get an experience panel beater to construct a Camry lock for you... Thats what I did for one of my client

I love this yiur ratimg but where Benin and Osun dey na.

I thought I saw a driver in Benin gross 120k easily

komodapson:
yes oh....Nigerians, by my own estimation,are one of most hypocritical being roaming the surface of this World...

I remember, i picked up a rider from Polo club on Awolowo axis to isheri-olowora. We got along in general conversation and he suddenly, veered into Politics. Naso, I kept mute...like "Dundee"... I was just chuckling & heaving sighs.

After, so much talk o

Rider: You're not saying anything ní, àbi you like the way country be so o...
Me: Ah!!! Wetin man go do now...
Rider: He kept on talking o, kon dey claim Authority.
He now started sounding like Lie Mohammed.

This eventually broke my pharynx

I replied to counter some of his claims, by giving him some UN, FAO, WHO, NBS stats..
He stuttered, quickly google to counter my submission... But was disappointed. He Never saw it coming, a " mere Driver"- going by their description

He was doused with ashes in humility.
We got to his destination, and he asked me where do I work...I replied jokingly.. I no get work o, na this hustle we dey o. He replied "how come you knew all this"...

I replied, "I hardly express my opinion, submission these days...I love to talk from position of FACTS"...

Lastly, I listen to Rotimi Sankore...

He replied " Hmmm....OK o"
Me: Good night sir

I revved up my engine, and zoomed off...
I Checked my rating after, he don drop badly

Hahaha...

Nigerians!

My point exactly, ee hate being corrected or countered.

Too bad!

kanuisagoat:
No matter the temptation, I will never use one way. I have been in many situations where I'll get juicy trips requiring some very long u turns and a short one way. I either go to take the long u turn or have the rider cancel if they can't wait.

Imagine begging someone with 100k. A whole week sweat assumimg the driver belongs to the ant league. Some people drive one month to earn 100k

The day i paid 150k to bay my partner car na that day I know say government na god of the earth.

Its took me 4days with abeg self.

Me and one way now be like lagos and village

sandammy:
My Ogas, abeg what fair price should one pay for a used 9ja 04 Manual transmission Matrix. Assuming it in good condition.?
cc. Felicity0001
cc. Pearl1910
cc. Baz001
cc. Kanuisagoat

9ja used 04 matrix.... Manual transmission...

Hmm...

Depend on the numbers of yrs used...

If it's within 2yrs.... 800k to 1m
Above 2yrs... 650k-800k

YeyeGbami:
30K first, after pricing 25K

Some riders enh... They want classy service and want To pay peanut.

I got same offer to carry a family from same location to and fro for their child's graduation ceremony I charged 28k oh just because I've carried her once b4 anf she has contacted like twice but I was not available... The woman said her hubby said he can only pay 20k... She later said she will add 5k and I was just considering to go when she called that they got somebody that will go for far less. I told her no p.

kanuisagoat:
My brother, whatever he wants he can rate. I don't care.

Imagine having to call someone to assist me with Lastma and when he asks what I did, I'll say I used one way. Which kind mouth I go take talk am.

If you ask me na who I go ask

Odukes:
Please experienced bolt drivers, I was banned for a week for low rating, the ban has expired but bolt has not restored my app, Is there any one with customer care number pls. I want to call them. I Am new rider.

Shoot a mail to them. You also must have missed or didn't receive the reactivation training message via text they sent to you. After carrying out the training your account will be reactivated

kanuisagoat:
Na today?

One tell me say we suppose just follow one way but we bolt drivers go dey form wetin e no understand even when other drivers are using the one way

Told him when he buys his own car, he can follow as many one ways as he wants

1 star sure for u for that trip

na so one ibo guy was bad mouthing yoruba women while we were on a short trip when me that is so blunt to issues I told him the truth about ibo, yoruba and Hausa... I told him our ibo women no get respect he looked ways to defend it but I just let him have his way but I'm sure I hit him hard with my frw words/points and experience.

guess what, after I dropped him my rating dropped... His trip was 800, guy man insisted I must look for change oh... He sent one of his friends to go look for the change and give to me... I waited about 5min... This was the same guy that said he likes my car In fact his first time entering a Benz. Foolish guy.

I've noticed we Nigerians don't like to be told the truth, be corrected or antogonized we always want to have our way at all cost even if it means dehumaning the next person it doesn't matter.

If you fail to even have a discussion with them they give you ine star as well.

Foolish riders.

GeneralZodd:
For their mind, dem don Catch Big fish, Eja Nla

Exact words my rider said but their trap miss

olusola2bello:
I just started using it. This is just the second time I'll be servicing it.....did 5k miles and no drop in oil level

Then continue with it and always confirm every advice from him before you make a decision.

BAZ001:
Nothing wey dashboard posting no fit do
Imagine all manner of advert in ordinary drivers thread.
The narratives have truly changed
Now drivers are
Marriage counselors
Investment experts
Car dealers
Land lords / real estate gurus
Credit / loan agents ( though bank app can hang if you want loan)

Millionaire drivers thread

What else do you expect... N9 b here we dey wey ordinary okoda rider buy land for lekki during lockdown? In just 4 months ooh let alone a uber driver that's earning 200k easily weekly...

Oga leave we get raba for here ooh...

See dashboard na... U no go fear?

olusola2bello:
Good afternoon...i have a 2005 camry which i service with hardex 5w30. My new mechanic said i should use semi synthetic instead of full synthetic, saying full synthetic is too light. Please any advice?

What was his reason for his advice?

roach:
Top of the day to everyone, I'm not sure if i should drop this here but i just need advice from everyone..

I decided to go with my wife to her working place today for the very first time, can you imagine everyone (everyone she greets) was asking if I'm her junior brother cus they say we look alike, and she keeps saying yes and smiling. Is this normal at all. I'm really having a mixed feelings, she does know that i feel bad about it, or is it normal.

Thanks everyone

Smiles...

Your wife use yiur catch cruise

And you self watin you won confirm wey carry you go your wife office? Abi you dey suspect her that she has one bobo for office??
na u find trouble na

Anyways, it's nothing serious so don't carry it over your head like its something bad.

The truth about human being is that opposite sex of say almost the same age when compared you find out the female gender age quicker than the male due to medical reasons so its not a strange thing for your wife to look older than you even if you're older than her in age. It's a normal thing

Again, when two people of different biological gene have live together for a long time even if they are not se.x partners they tend to look alike, these is reason why people adopt babies and not adults.

But for your wife to say yes to their questions is something im very sure she too didn't taje seriously and will later tell her colleagues that guy you guys called my younger brother is actually my husband oh but at that very instance she fuckup because she didn't respect you...

Just discuss it with her at home and let her know how you felt about it okay, to me its nothing to worry about... Maybe she doesn't want too many attraction or she actually wanted you to see and know that that thing you're came to confirm is not true. If she had said you're her husband that would have scared away those who are really close to her or anyone trying to make passes at her in her place of work to stay away while you where around but I'm sure you didn't notice anything of such while you where there.

So calm down oga nothing there.

yommie007:
Baba no be lie oo.... I just dey imagine say dem go hook me that day.... e for no funny oo.... I just jejely retired for the day and went to take peppersoup instead of dashing someone with beg.

I swear u did d right tin bro... na my rider on that day koba me she was complaining my AC was too cold inside hot afternoon o na so I windown minutes later na him d incident happen... Aunty start to brag say she get venza she dey live for chevron abi na lekki... How that one take concern me...?



.........................................
I drag am with them early this morning at that traffic light junction into akilo from ijaiye road... The green light was still active when I entered the turn but one idiotic korope (you jnow how those fools are na they don't obey traffic laws) that was how he stopped at the middle of the junction oh obstructing traffic flow, that was how this stupid traffic lasma just jumped out from his hiding saying I beat the light... Stood in front of my car that I should come down b4 u know it another korope pulled over in my front I was just calm looking at them I told my rider not to wind down already one was standing by his side asking him to windown.

The main guy came to my side asking me to come down, I windown and told him oga I'm not coming down... The light was still green not even yellow when I entered if you have proof I beat the light show it to me on your phone... All of them don dey snap picture take video do all sort I didn't even mind them.

After we speak all the oyinbo language we sabi finish we enter vernacular... He saw I wasnt giving in he then told his colleague in yoruba language... Let's leave him... Then faced me and said, "I will let you go but next time bla bla bla... Speaking parables" cant remember the parable... I told him oga go and tell that parable to your family at home... He insulted me I insulted him back... Give am 5 hand star join.

Na so I zoom off... My offline client self na kolo... But all through he didn't say anything... He just said, very good I like the way you treated them.
